exactly. if someone willingly takes the risk then they cannot. Nobody has to disclose it unless they ask a question: do you have it? "yes, no, i dunno..."

[dgdhqgdyukqud]

Yeah. Education, and to inform about these things are important. I have no bias at all (a few of my friends have it and we love each other as friends, like brothers and sisters).

I don't have sex, 'hot & sweaty' or any other kind.It shouldn't just be the responsibilty of those who are HIV+.ANYONE engaging in sex has to take responsibility, whether or not you know your status.But then that applies to ALL STDs not just HIV.I can only imagine why someone would disclose their positive status AFTER having unprotected sex with someone .But again it goes back to the need to take responsibility for your OWN actions.If someone willingly takes the risk then they can't complain

Well, 11-13 years old children already had engaged in sexual activities. It is a free choice of every individual. The system is up side down.

It should be held on febr. 29 who wanna celebrate a disease (to avoid? to catch?) seriously?

Well of course education is still necessary, or so it would seem.Interestingly, whilst shopping in my town centre on WAD, a middle-aged couple approached me to ask what the red ribbon I was wearing signified.When I briefly explained they took a step back & looked at me like I'd just confessed to advocating paedophilia! Mumbling something about 'disgusting people' off they scurried.Ok, maybe it could be argued that as they were in the 'older' age group perhaps their reaction was to be expected.

(contd'), That said, they weren't too much older than me, probably in their late 50s, )I'm 52), so would've been in their late 20s when news of HIV/AIDS broke.Yet their entrenched beliefs shone through even so far down the line.Seems we still have a way to go in terms of education.

[popazz]

(contd'), if they do become infected.

Then there's always the issue of just presuming some randon person you're gonna have unprotected sex with DOES have the virus & insisting on using condoms.Erring on the side of caution seems preferable to taking the risk & possibly becoming infected. But then there are some weird folk out there who aren't at all concerned about the risks.Go figure.
